Reliability, Value, Price

Thorough research and customer satisfaction, were the basis for my selection. Review of the product was simplified by the product manual, which was most informative and easy to understand. I will be getting a quote for the home standby system as soon as possible. In Florida, a generator is as necessary as homeowners insurance.

Works

I bought this to power a off grid cabin in conjunction with a power inverter... it powers all my lights , TV, side by side fridge and a out house with lights and 1500 watt heater.. I'm in Alaska... my only COMPLAINT is the choke... it simply will not start , warm , cold or hot...without choking it!.. I run it for hrs at a time...turn it off and whether I restart IMMEDIATELY, IN A HOUR OR THE NEXT DAY... gatta choke it... makes NO SENSE...slightly loud... fuel consumption is decent...good machine... would have bought something else, but.. in Alaska variety is limited..shipping is costly so had to buy local...would really like wireless start... not available on generac

This generator did a great job.

We were without power for 4 days. My sister is on electric oxygen and has a portable oxygen that needed to be charged. We traveled over an hour to find this generator. We also needed to have power for our refrigerator to keep our $600 in groceries from being ruined. I would like to know if it could be back fed to my house but for the moment it ran for 15 hours on one tank of fuel. Our 4 days on generator sure eased our stress for not having power.

Excellent

I bought the GP8000E about 6 months ago for my house, I liked Generac so much that I just bought a GP2200i 9/12/2018 and received it today 9/15/2018. I just put oil in it, and going to get some gasoline. This one is for my tools (drills, circular saws etc.) I like Generac products. Thanks, Frank The GP8000E is Excellent The GP2200i I haven't tried yet.

175 HRs , Running strong

Excellent reliability, use on job, always starting and stopping the generator.. Even dropped off of the side of a roof, and it landed up side down , still started first pull after this incident...I have replaced the pull cord once during my two years of ownership

Fantastic product that goes above and beyond my original needs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For camping trips and times when my neighborhood experience power outages, this generator is able to power my table saw, chop saw, circular saw, and keep my Fridge running without any struggles. My family took it camping this past weekend and we were all pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was! It is much lighter than my previous generator as well. With two small children and a small wife I needed a device I could easily lift into the back of my truck myself and this one fit that ask and all of my needs and beyond!

Exactly what I needed

Living in Metro Detroit I unfortunately have the regional power supplier as my electric utility. Unfortunately the power is just a bit less reliable than it is in Afghanistan. After numerous outages and a ridiculous amount of damage I bought this generator. Unboxed it, put the frame and wheels together, added the oil and gasoline and it starts on the first pull (actually not even a pull - just a tug after the starter engaged). Light enough for me to lift myself, and with the wheels it is easily mobile. More than enough power to run the sump pump, freezer, and refrigerator for short spells during the numerous outages I experience. Extremely easy to use and maintain. It is unfortunate I need to own something like this at all, but since I do I doubt I could do better. Do the scheduled maintenance and it is always ready and should last indefinitely. Given the track record of the local utility they should be required to provide one for every customer.

Easy setup

It was very easy to setup and it started immediately. I bought this as a backup to use for sump pump and refrigeration. I feel Generac was the safest way to go because if reputation. I can feel at ease when we need it. The sticker with product info needs to be moved to make it easier to see.

Excellent value

Just got it. started perfectly without any issues. Easy to move around. Everything as advertised. Have not used it for power yet but have high expectations. Not nearly as noisy as i thought it would be. Not any louder than the poulan pro 6600 which it is replacing.
